You need a new fan relay. It is on the passenger side of the firewall at the top.
Replace that relay that is connected to the pos batt cable; I believe that's your problem.
FIRST CHECK THE BATTERY IF GOOD]> THEN STARTER MOST LIKELY IS BAD ?
Could have just overheated
You have cut yourself while working on your vehicle. If severe, get medical attention immediately.
There could be several reasons why a 1997 Ford Escort will not start. A few reasons could be the starter, the battery, spark plugs and wires, or even a blown engine.
The problem may be with your starter and not with the clutch.
Your alternator is not working.
Typically when you need to jump start your car every time in order to start it, there is a problem with the battery. It could be that the alternator is not working and is not charging the battery, or it could be that the battery is not holding a charge.
I think that I could start working on something that I feel comftable with.
I had the same problem with my 99 Chevy caviler and its all because of a wiring problem that could catch on fire, mine did, get it checked out
could be one of three things either choke is not working needle and seat are worn and fuel is leking or accelerator pump is worn and not pumping fuel
Either you have no fuel or no spark. Once you determine which you are missing, you will know where to look for the problem.
